I am having to use some old legacy code which throws HRESULTS. How do I catch these exceptions? What is the catch parameter for it?

You should post the smallest possible compilable example that exhibits the problem, then.
Are you sure that they are throwing a HRESULT and not an exception like wrapper like _com_error or CAtlException?
If it's using something like this:then it is the kind of thing I use every day at work.Code:HRESULT hr = E_FAIL; _com_issue_error(hr)
You should catch it like this:Code:catch(const _com_error &e)

You may be having an issue related to threading or a non-local stack.
Where is the exception being thrown from? Where are you trying to catch it?
